Group Members - Dave R - rileyd02@uwosh.edu Here's my graphic organizer for the Tapscott Intro

Grainne - mcguig40@uwosh.edu  Here is my graphic organizer Chris - hathac22@uwosh.edu For our voice thread activity, we are going to be teaching the students about life in Wisconsin. We will talk about the weather, Wisconsin traditions, and the people that live in Wisconsin. We will describe how different the seasons in Wisconsin. The snow season usually begins in November and can last as long as May. In Wisconsin, cheese is definitely one of the main traditions and is a major farming and dairy state. The Green Bay Packers team is one of Wisconsin’s football team and very well loved and respected in all areas of Wisconsin. People, like most from the Midwest are welcoming and friendly.

Here are our notes on our discussions for "Whole New Mind" ]]Chapter 4: Design It’s good to think with both sides of your head. Be logical but also be creative. Creative innovation is vitally important for career success. You can’t outsource innovation and creativity. Chad has nice hair. Good design can change the world, but bad design can do the same. Creativity is important in every aspect of life including professional jobs. Aesthetics isn’t just meant to be flashy, but it also helps to connect people. Activity: Channel your annoyance- We each sketched an annoyingly designed item. We also sketched an improved annoying item. Among our group we chose a backpack, a dish rack, windows, a coke bottle, and a mechanical pencil.

Chapter 5: Story You must be able to conceptualize, emotionalize, and encapsulate ideas and stories. This is very important this day in age. Connecting stories to life in general is an important gift to have. Real estate agents do this very well. Doctors must be good at this because it’s easier for patients to understand their situations when their diagnosis is put in a story form. We must listen to each other’s stories, we are the authors of our own lives. Activity: We each contributed to the following story: John loved to fish. Every year he went to Lake Winnebago in search of Salmon. He searched and searched for Salmon but only found Pearch. Every year John came back to the same spot, John came back to fish. One day his dad packed his suitcase and said, “Son, follow me to Boston.” John fell into the water and didn’t come up. Salmon were found nibbling on his fishing rod.

Chapter 6: Symphony Symphony is the ability to put together the pieces and come up with a big picture. Required to sympathize rather than analyze. Seeing the big picture is becoming more and more important this day in age. Proper use of metaphors are important in understanding symphony. It’s good to eliminate one’s preconceptions and prejudices to clear the way for a new way of big-picture thinking. Symphony is a big part of all our lives. The big picture point of view is also good for problem-solving. Discussion of self-portrait. Activity: We each listened to symphonies by the following composers: Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Chopin.

Chapter 7: Empathy Empathy is the ability to imagine yourself in the position of someone else. Has to do with the ability to tell if someone is really happy or is faking happiness in their smiles. The eyes are how you can tell. Empathy is related to sympathy because empathetic people can appreciate the importance of context. This also applies to teaching in a big way. Not all women have female brains and not all men have male brains. Negative space- Hershey kiss example Activity: We each did the empathy quotient.

Chapter 8: Play You have to have a good sense of humor in life. Play used to be seen as negative in the workplace and disciplinary action was given for it. The most productive work forces are also the happiest. Play is one of the big keys to a happy life. Play also is a big predictor of creativity as well as happiness in general. “Games are the most elevated form of investigation.” Games can be used as a way to solve problems in school Laughter clubs are good and healthy. Activity: We each went to a gaming site and casually browsed it.

Chapter 9: Meaning Meaning can be found in the most impossible settings. It’s important to have meaning in life, otherwise motivation rarely follows. It’s good to take spirituality seriously. If you don’t now, you probably will when you’re closer to death. You’re not going to find the meaning of life under a rock, you’ll only find it by searching for it yourself. Meaning is a very important aspect of the new conceptual age. “We are born for meaning, not pleasure, unless it is pleasure that is steeped in meaning.” Activity: Some of us did the humor scale online. Some pictured ourselves at 90. One other person took a Sabbath.
